Concrete Scanning in Leeds, West Yorkshire
Structural Repairs is a leading provider of concrete scanning — a advanced technique for mapping structures in concrete across Leeds and the wider West Yorkshire area.
With over 35 years of industry expertise, we help clients act with confidence, safety and accuracy — ensuring every intervention delivers “new or better” results.
Concrete Scanning Explained
Concrete scanning is a non-invasive method used to see inside concrete. It helps contractors detect what’s beneath the surface — without drilling or damaging the structure.
We utilise several scanning systems, including:
- Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) — provides high-resolution imaging of concrete interiors.
- Ferro-scanning / Covermetry — detects metal reinforcement precisely.
- Ultrasonic / Delamination detection — locates internal voids.
These techniques create a detailed internal picture — enabling safe, accurate, and informed decision-making before cutting, coring or repairing. Our concrete scanning work follows recognised UK non-destructive testing standards, such as the guidance published by the British Institute of Non-Destructive Testing: https://www.bindt.org/
What Happens If You Skip Scanning?
- Neglecting proper scanning can cause dangerous problems:
- Cutting live cables during drilling or coring
- Weakening the structure
- Missing hidden voids or corrosion
- Increased project cost
- Injury or property damage
- A comprehensive scan mitigates all these risks, ensuring that every project is safe, efficient and compliant — and that repaired structures are better than before.
